Florida MAGA federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Wednesday finally granted the protective order sought by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith in the case against fat former President Trump for stealing and hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, setting forward a process for Donald and his lawyers to review and discuss the top secret shit he took from the White House.
Trump had wanted to establish a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago so Team Orange could huddle and talk about the case against him and at first glance Cannon’s ruling did not actually address that ask while setting the rules for the discovery process. The Hill characterized it as a “sidestep” in their headline, writing Cannon’s order “does not acknowledge a request from Trump to review those documents by redesignating a space in his home as a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF).”
Sharp-eyed Twitter user @secretsandlaws, purportedly a former CIA attorney looked through the footnotes of the order and found that yeah, Cannon really did rule against Trump by granting a motion opposing that stupid Mar-a-Lago SCIF plan. All it took was a literal national security lawyer to scrutinize every word of the order to find out that Cannon betrayed her Orange Master.
